Only in Rome does service barely above curt and drinks for a single-figure amount cause an enthusiastic stir. But Enoteca Antica gives both, and much more besides. Reasonable and tasty food, great Erdinger beers for 5 Euros, and – hang on to your seats – service that is genuinely friendly. And then there’s the location – a stone’s throw from the Spanish Steps, in an old wine cavern so atmospheric you can smell the Chianti in the air.

Nice, I agree, but very pricey wine. The food is good though. For cheaper but still very good Lazio wine try this superb winebar. It's called Palatium and in located in the Spanish Steps area at via Frattina, 94. The food is excellent and the wines start at 10 Euros a bottle. Smart decour, great value.
